Hi Niels

I am wondering why this REST API is part of the GeoFence plugin. Shouldn't
it be part of the GeoServer core code ?.

Additionally, I think there are some API calls and return codes missing. As
an example, what about read only services like LDAP. I do not see some
error codes for this situation, nor I can see some API calls enumerating
the available security services/stores.

I am a little bit confused, please clarify.

Btw, I am happy to see a first approach here.

Cheers
Christian
